About Us

Welcome from the Committee

The Postgraduate Conference is organised by postgraduate students (MA, EdD, MPhil/PhD, and visiting PhD students) in conjunction with staff members in the Centre for Applied Linguistics, University of Warwick. Our conferences were geared to students within the University of Warwick until the 2007 conference, but has been opened to postgraduate students from any institution since the 2008 conference followed by the successful 2009 conference and 2010 conference , all of which have promoted lively discussions and inspired many postgraduate students. We are assuming the mantle of this feature and are looking forward to greeting various postgraduate students from any area in applied linguistics from any institution. Since 2010, we also offer a series of pre-conference workshops for postgraduate students to cover various research methodology topics prior to the conference, making it a two-day event to equip postgraduate students to excel in writing dissertations and theses as well as giving opportunities to present their works and to form international networks.

The 2011 conference is chaired by Jiayi Wang, supported by other committee members.
